An Update & An Opportunity

Happy New Year to everyone!

We’ve been busy gathering, writing, and putting things together so we can open our doors to our very first residents. In the midst of all of the business and work that goes into the start of a new ministry, we took some time to remember our “why” – to love well and give future hope to young women who have not had proper support in their lives.

This has encouraged us greatly and with each administrative task we complete, we know that it is one step closer to getting our first resident moved in.

Now, reaching out to all of you for help on one of our list items – we are in search of the right person to be a resident assistant at the Next Step house. This is a wonderful and challenging ministry/job opportunity, and we hope that you will share and let us know if you or someone you know would be a good fit. Here’s the description:
